whatever. So today right, I went to THE SICK BAY. I was really feeling under the weather and I couldn't even walk during class and I kept sniffling and tearing up and all that. So I went to the General Office to ask whether I could make use of the Sick Bay facilities.
After filling up a green form, I walked across a cream and golden hall-way, feeling absurdly out of place in the clatter of the staff whizzing past me. Finally I reached the end of the hallway and I turned around to see the discreet sign in black and white plastered on the wooden door.
FEMALE SICK BAY.
a sign from heaven.
With a sigh, I pushed open the door just to see another girl settling herself in. With a coy smile, I apologised for just bursting like I owned the place and placed my bag gently down on the floor. As my temporary room-mate snuggled into her yellow printed blanket, I climbed up the next available bunk bed. Just so we could give each other a bit of privacy.
My bed faced the window. This was good so that when I opened my eyes, I would remember where I was and not at some abandoned motel or something. The room was quiet and still. I wanted to reach into my pocket to claim my phone so I could listen to some music while resting but I was too afraid to even move.
The bed was as sensitive as my sister. Each move I made, no matter how insignificant, sent a creak cracking into the still air. I didn't want to disturb my room mate. Let's call her Angie. (name improvised for discretion) Angie probably needed the rest more than I did, so I tried my best to be a good roomie. So I stood still, closing my eyes ever so often.
Eventually, I heard her gentle snoring. It wasn't the loud obnoxious snores you probably hear from your aunt, but more of the soft snoring of a lady. Just when I realised that I was 'alone' I sat up and examined my surroundings. It was like a clinic. Throw in a little MJC/dormitory hospitality, you've got my sick bay.
There was two bunk beds, a washing machine (I am not kidding), a sink, two combs (no mirror), a thermometer, about a hundred toilet rolls (again, not kidding), a first aid kid, a desk, two chairs, a fan, a poster about how to wash your hands (I am not making this up) and a little corner for blankets.
Content with my surroundings, I rested again. This time I was genuinely tired, so I drifted off to my afternoon siesta after plugging in my earphones. It was so nice in there. Through the gaps of the window, I could see some students filing out. But no one could see me. I was protected by the shroud of some ferns and trees adorned with flowers. my haven was a secret. a secret between me and Angie.
I felt like Boo Radley, the malovelent phantom.
At 3.35p.m, I snapped up. I couldn't possibly be late for Chemistry SPA. So with as much grace as possible (as if) I descended from my tower and packed my things. After putting on my shoes, I silently bid farewell to sleeping Angie and stepped out into the glowing clatter of Meridian Junior College.
I now proclaim the FEMALE SICK BAY to be the best place on the Meridian Junior College campus.
